[applause] these were the words of president ronald reagan in his first inaugural address. many others have been quoted, but as a governor, i love those words. i love those words right now more than ever because they should remind us all across america that real reform doesn't happen in our nation's capital, it happens in our statehouses all across this great country. [applause] i mean, think about it. back in the 1990s in my state with tommy thompson or across the lake with john endingler, welfare reform happened in the states. newt gingrich finally got bill clinton to sign it into law a little bit later. you go all the way back to the early 970s when ronald reagan wasn't the president, but the governor of california, and tax reform happened in that state. and it wasn't until later, ironically back in california, when ronald reagan as the president signed into raw the economic recovery -- into law the economic recovery act. real reform happened in the states. as was mentioned yesterday, there are now in america some 30 states that have republican governors and nearly as ma

and along came boo a guy called ronald reagan who promise -- came a guy named ronald reagan who promised we would restore our capabilities that would make america the leader in the world again and a simple phrase called "peace through strength." i want to tell you what we're doing with this sequestration. what we're doing with sequestration is an exact replay of what we did after the vietnam war. i understand that the american people are war weary. i understand that are savings that can be made and large savings made in our defense spending. but to do it like this puts the security of this nation in jeopardy. we are blessed with the finest military ever in our history and i say that with great respect to my predecessors who fought in previous wars. our own -- all-volunteer force is the best this nation has ever produced. it's the best of america. we all know that. and you know what's happening to them right now? i'll tell you what's happening to them right now because i talk to them all the time. they don't know where their next deployment is going to be. they don't know if they're going

as we know, because ted olson, ronald reagan's -- george w. bush's solicitor general, one of the founders of the federalist society is going to be arguing before the supreme court that all americans have a constitutional right to marry. we know that this is not a republican versus democratic issue. we know this because we know that marriage is the most stabilizing force in our society. that all americans want to marry the person they love and deserve to have the freedom to me the person they love. we also know that because despite our faith traditions in the republican party, we all believe in the golden rule. we all believe that we want to do unto others as we would have them do unto us, and we believe the loss of the united states of america protect us and guarantee this as our faith traditions do. [cheers and applause] we also know that the supreme court has opined at least 14 times since 1866 that marriage is a fundamental right. fundamental. that is the same as the freedom to be here today to peacefully assemble and speak our mind. the sa

under ronald reagan, our economy grew 20.1% in the first 14 quarters. under this president, our economy has grown by only 7.5%. and, again, i would argue an awful lot of that has to do with regulations but an awful lot of that has to do with the fact we have increased our debt to unsustainable levels. it is scaring consumers, scaring business people away from investing their capital and growing their businesses. as republicans, as conservatives, we want every american to pay their fair share. we actually want a balanced approach to deficit and debt reduction. we want more revenue flowing to the federal government. but we want to increase revenue the old fashioned way, by growing our economy. just a couple quick little facts. even with the meager economic growth that we've experienced from 2009 to 2012, revenue has increased to the federal government by a total of $344 billion per year. if we just return to a normal economy like we had in 2007 when revenue to the federal government was 18.5% of our economy pretty close to the 50-year average, that would
